a.
To determine:The number of units of the device the firm should sell in order to recover its initial investment.
Introduction:The concept of the number of units that a firm must sell for recovering its initial investment is termed as Break even quantity. It is calculated by finding the difference between the total fixed costs divided by selling price of each unit andthe variable costs of the good or service.
b.
To determine:The amount of total revenue at the break-even volume.
Introduction:The breakeven volume is the volume of total cost at which costs of both internal production and external purchase become equal. The total revenue at breakeven volume is the product of the break-even units by the selling price of each unit.
c.
To determine:The potential change in break even volume when price of each device is increased to $100.
Introduction:The breakeven volume will undoubtedly change when the selling price of each unit of product is increased. In this case, since the selling price of each unit of the product is more than before, so the quantity of the product sold or break-even volume in units will be definitely lesser than initial volume.

- Pls help ASAParrow_forwardSubject:arrow_forwardA swim club is designing a new pool to replace its old pool. The new pool would need to last for 10 years since the club is planning on relocating after 10 years. A concrete shell would cost $85,000 and last for all 10 years. Another option is to install a vinyl liner that would cost only $70,000 to install. However, the vinyl is not guaranteed to last for all 10 years, and it has a 40% chance of breaking down. Repair of the vinyl would cost $40,000 and would extend the life of the vinyl liner to the 10-year mark. If both options are acceptable to the swim club, which one minimizes cost?
